Hello

Also...without having a sort of pump like I'll have in my larger tank, do you know of a way I can water in the smaller one for the Malaysian Leaf Frog without just having a water dish in there? Probably not? Maybe I'll just need to get another pump and set it up better.

You could close off some of the screen lid to keep the humidity up.

Hi there

I've had a group of 3 Malaysian Leaf Frogs (M. Montana) for about 2 months now.

Montana are apparently a little smaller than Nasuta and consequently the females are less prone to eating the males!

Apparently it's hard for people to tell the difference between the Nasuta and Montana but care is roughly the same.

I keep mine in a 45 x 45 x 60 Exo Terra Viv. Temperatures peak at 26c and hit a minimum of 22c during the night. I spray twice a day to keep humidity between 85 - 100 %

They are very shy, so I have provided them with a heavily planted tank with a couple of hides aswell.

I hear the males calling more or less every night and am currently working on setting up a viv with the intention of breeding

Hope this helps.

Steve

This helps very much. Thank you.

Last night, as soon as I turned off the light, I could hear the frog jumping around, so I'm excited; the entire day before it did not move from it's spot.

What do you feed yours? Just crickets?

[StephenLS]

I've tried crickets, wax worms, moths and small locusts.

They seem in good health so they must be eating but I've only seen it a couple of times - I really need to spend a couple of nights just watching them!

[1beataway]

Do wax worms immediately try to burrow like mealworms do?

I'm excited. I was so determined, though, not to buy an animal at this reptile expo. And then I fell in love with the frog.

Actually, I was hoping for clown tree frogs, but there were none. And then I fell in love with the leaf frog.

[StephenLS]

Also I dust mine with a calcium/vitamin dust once a week....and I've purchased a frog worming solution to use on them - don't know about in the US but they are damn expensive over here and I want to keep them in tip top shape!

[1beataway]

Deworming for frogs is something I have never heard of. Anyone care to explain some more?

[StephenLS]

They do burrow but not straight away. You can put them in a shallow bowl - but it isn't a major problem if they burrow as they pupate and become tasty moths!

I am similarly weak willed and always end up coming home with something new from shows!

ps - Clown Tree Frogs are awesome - I've wanted some for ages as-well!
